| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy,Both Dave and I use AVM. Dave has told me he too hears the benefits of this blue goo. To my knowledge Dave has never used the Cascade treatment. I used the original version of Cascade 10 years ago on my Dunlavy speaker mod and it made fo... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil SherodGlad you asked. I just treated the cd spindle platter of my transport with AVM and wow what a nice improvement..I have always heard an improvement after using AVM..now almost across my entire syatem. I use the Cascade on large surface areas,... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil VolleyguyIf you still have a North Creek inductor order up some Cascade Audio V-bloc. This material is a heavy anti vibrational paint that goes on purple and drys hard as a rock to a dense black color. I painted the parasitic filter inductor in my... | |
| Audio Rack Construction I had an old Mike Green rack. Very good in its time. I did learn to replace all the steel with brass for much improved sound. Don't try to isolate with rubber or any other type of suspended material. If you couple all the way thru and then mechani... | |
| Isolating Crossovers Outboard crossovers sound better. Direct mechanical coupling of the outboard crossover is another audible improvement that can be easily applied. I have used these methods previous including the Dunlavy SC4's speakers..Tom | |
| Micheal Green Rack Justarack I had one of these some time back. Sound is a little over damped and dark. Replace all the steel hardware with all brass for a nice upgrade in dynamics, stage size and focus.Tom | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Bill,Your partially right in the mention of the use of a manifold. The application though is to the ceiling and wall convergence in my sound room. Got rid of those horrendous sounding 90 degree angles and recontoured them with 33 degree angles whi... | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Huh,I said no such thing either by description or by your suggestion have I ever done such a thing. I never accomplished any such feet/feat so completely except for that first time with the Essence amp because it was designed so completly to do so... | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs GrantAnd all who have not heard a difference or very little when direct mechanical coupling their power amps. A short story. 1998 and having owned a Essence power amp for a few years and knowing the builder Dale Pitcher [now of Intuitive Designs}a... | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Grant,My question was one of inquiry as to the reason why no perceived difference was heard or felt when either assembly was placed under your amps. Thats all. Tom | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs If you don't care to experiment then what is there? Stasis? Tom | |
| Amp stands for Pass Labs Grant,Did you place the amps stands you tried directly on the floor or were they placed inside another piece of furniture?While you were at demo with these amps and amp stands what were your source components placed on and enclosed? Tom | |
| Upgrade fuses in Active ATC SCM 50 speakers? The power supply is the first source and is always in the signal path. Anyway in which you can improve the power supply will make for an improvement in signal transfer. I have replaced all the fuses in my system with magnets. The greatest improvem... | |
| What paint sheen? If you had unlimited finances finish the columns with Anti Vibrational Magic {AVM} it works. Next would be a spray stone paint finish available at the Depot or Lowes. If the columns you have now are of the right angle type remove them and replace ... | |
| Lead Shot Substitute for Loading Speaker Cabinets? If you couple the speakers properly then you don't have to fill anything, worry about toxic abuse or the dark slow muddy sound of over damping a circuit or a speaker. Tom |
